so right now im planning on upgrading to a 50-55 gal tank all glass. So i need about 20 more #s of live rock (already have 40#) and possibly sand, need to fix my skimmer (anyone have an extra collection cup for cpr bakpak) and lighting...

anyone have any suggestions on what light to buy? and anyone have a rough estimate on what the cost might add up to?
 
For your lighting I would stay in the realm of two 175w metal. Far as the kelvin rating sort of depends on your corals need for strong lighting. Remember the higher the kelvins the bluer the color spectram it will appear! As an example I run two 250watt HQI 20,000k with two 54wattT5 day bulbs on my 125gal. I like the blueish look but sometimes believe its to dim. Good luck tho.
